And in case anyone is optimistic that Nintendo will sell the game after this period, they probably won't since they hadn't already. They were just sitting on this thing since their rush to give 3DS early adopters things to feel good about.

Dunno if it belongs here or if it belongs in its own, separate thread, but the humble bundle for this period is sid meier's sims stuff, including Civ3 Civ4 and Civ 5's latest DLC if you cough up over $15.Crazy values.

Also, doublefine is game-jamming through them and they have an almost-equally crazy collection of stuff and DF-9 if you cough up over $16.something.

I guess their new strategy is to offer what is ostensibly a primo rank reward if you pay a not-insulting amount?

Another PlayStation Home minigame with a free PS1 game reward, this time it's Resident Evil: The Director's Cut. Also a bunch of F2P funbux if you happen to have a PS4 and like that sort of thing. Seems like they're planning to continue with this, too. I am pretty okay with putting up with a half-hour of crass advertising via a broken ripoff of Second Life if it means more free shit that ain't shit.

The first promo (with Twisted Metal, Destruction Derby and Warhawk) is apparently still up too.

Warhawk is still one of my favorite PSX games. It ain't exactly Metal Gear Solid, but it's a lot of fun to play and the vestigial FMV/game over sequence stuff is kind of endearing. It's worth the slog.

Man, we love Bully! This was probably the first game my wife ever played through entirely on her own and finished. It mixes up the GTA formula in a couple fun ways: since you're a student, you have morning and afternoon classes you have to get to (or skip, risking truancy violations), as well as a curfew—you're supposed to get back to your residence hall by a certain time, but you can avoid the authorities and stay out later, although you collapse from exhaustion at like 3:00 AM and get taken back to your room. If you go to class, you complete a weird little minigame that can unlock ingame rewards. Rather than guns and melee weapons, you can punch people (to very minor effect) or use stuff like slingshots, firecrackers, stink bombs, or some very rare, very potent melee weapons like a bat to deal with threatening upperclassmen. Like Smiler mentioned, your transportation is limited to stuff like your skateboard and bicycle (although grabbing onto a car's bumper on your board can get you around the town pretty quickly). The missions are surprisingly coherent and focused, compared to your typical Rockstar game, although you'll still find yourself doing things ranging from learning new fighting techniques from a hobo to sneaking through the local mental ward, taking photos of your graffiti and dealing with the school Machiavelli who wants to play the various cliques off one another. There's a great seasonal progression and holiday activities that I wish Rockstar would actually bring into the GTA franchise. All in all, highly recommended!

Looks like a decent port, for being a phone port of a Dreamcast game. Lack of accelerometer controls is disappointing. Don't know if it works with a game controller or not as I don't have any for my phone. But hey, it's free.
